Just found a site to observe under trees in the shade, many dead plants , set up camp and I find a rock to sit on to start my oberservations
11:34
There is a nice breeze, many leaves rustle, a multitude of flying insects are annoying me
11:38
I take a picture of our camp site and hear some birds chirping, these insects seem to like me, but I don't like them
11:46
I hear something rustle in the dead bushes around me, I come to think that it was a lizard, this fly keeps coming back for more
11:49
I get up and walk around our site a bit, take pictures, I point out a black sage bush, take a picture of it
11:53
I still hear the birds chirping, I'm unable to indentify them, the insects are still annoying me
11:55
I'm still standing up, I see a bird fly over me, it has a white belly, black face and beak, an long black tail. I come to think that it is a magpie, but I'm not sure
11:59
Notice the dead cactus around our camp, cannot identify them, they were to dead
12:08
I just noticed the time, we pack up and start walking to the bus
